Thanks Matt, that's great to know.
So, in the very simplest manner I've put this into my model:
def name
title + " " + first_name + " " + middle_name + " " + last_name + "
" + suffix
end
This works pretty good .... of course when I have an empty field (like
middle name for instance) then I end up with one extra " " per
"name" ... so I'll need to add some conditionals to this.
thanks again.
